Anti-wrinkle/anti-snoring/therapeutic foam pillow

ABSTRACT

A trapezoidal-shaped foam pillow with a center hole/tunnel that allows the user to sleep comfortably on each side, their front and back while providing therapeutic neck support and a head cradle to suspend wrinkles, reduce snoring and minimize clenched jaw.

BACKGROUND

The anti-wrinkle/anti-snoring/therapeutic foam pillow allows the user tosleep comfortably while smoothing out or protecting facial skin tosuspend fine lines and wrinkles, reduce snoring and prevent clenchedjaw. This is achieved by using the specially designed pillow along withthe help of gravity. It is also a new and improved version of any priorart as its original shape is obtained using CNC machine technology.

SUMMARY

The market is flooded with all sorts ofanti-ageing/anti-snoring/therapeutic products, and in my experience, allwith disappointing results. This led me to invent a simple pillow thatuses the rhythmic nightly sleep cycle with the power of gravity toobtain the desired result.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The anti-wrinkle/anti-snoring/therapeutic foam pillow accommodates sleepin a more comfortable way for each type of sleep position (prone, supineand side). It does this by utilizing its unique design of a centerhole/tunnel 40 and side slopes 30.

The center hole/tunnel 40 permeates the pillow from the upper surface 10to the lower surface 20 and permits the face to rest gently facingdownward for the prone sleeper, upward for the back sleeper and on one'sside.

The center hole/tunnel 40 permits the user to sleep on their frontwithout having to turn the neck to a 90 degree angle causing neck pain.This interior tunnel 50 creates the air space needed below the facewhile in the prone position. Sleeping on one's front in this way alsosmooths out fine lines and wrinkles by “gripping” the perimeter of theface and causing the skin to gently pull outward.

The neck rest 60 connects the center hole/tunnel 40 to the front panel70 and keeps the head in place, neck supported and spine aligned when inthe supine position. It does this by gently keeping the face facingupwards so that one's neck does not turn 90 degrees causing neck pain.

The interior tunnel 50 creates a head cradle that does not permit thehead to waver off to one side or the other while sleeping. The neck rest60 is a recessed curved groove that along with the center hole/tunnel 40keeps the head facing upwards and allows for a manner of sleeping inwhich facial skin does not come in contact with the pillow thus reducingany nocturnally caused friction causing facial creases.

The interior tunnel 50 accommodates long hair when pulled back allowingthe user to sleep more comfortably on their back while keeping the hairaway from tangling surfaces.

This center hole/tunnel 40 accommodates the user's ear when sidesleeping on the upper surface 10 permitting the user to sleep morecomfortably.

Each side slope 30 (left and right side) accommodates for sleeping onone's side while smoothing out the skin around the eyes, cheeks andmouth. With the side of the face positioned near the top of the slope30, gravity gently pulls the face downward toward the side panel 90while the skin remains in the same position so that the skin is pulledtaut.

With a good night's sleep using the side slope 30, creases, fine linesand wrinkles are smoothed out on the side that the sleeper is on.

Using the side slope 30 also helps breathing and reduces snoring byspreading the nasal cavities on that side.

Using the side slope 30 can also eliminate a clenched jaw by puttingpressure on the joint so that it cannot tighten and permit teethgrinding and temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
